<p><strong>Grateful Dead Original Members Reunite to Celebrate 50th Anniversary<br>
<br>
“Fare Thee Well: Celebrating 50 Years of Grateful Dead" at Chicago’s Soldier Field on July 3rd, 4th, and 5th, 2015<br>
<br>
Marks the Grateful Dead Members' Final Performance Together<br>
<br>
Event information available at Dead50.net</strong></p>
<p>To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Grateful Dead, the four original members — Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh, and Bob Weir — will reunite at Chicago's Soldier Field, nearly 20 years to the day of the last Grateful Dead concert, which took place at the same venue. “Fare Thee Well: Celebrating 50 Years of Grateful Dead" will occur over three nights on July 3, 4, and 5, 2015, marking the original members' last-ever performance together. The band will be joined by Trey Anastasio (guitar), Jeff Chimenti (keyboards), and Bruce Hornsby (piano). The group will perform two sets of music each night.</p>
<p>Jerry Garcia's daughter Trixie Garcia announced the shows in an exclusive interview. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RR3LaG4vcBk" target="_blank">You can check out her announcement here</a>.</p>
<p>Joining the original members of Grateful Dead are three musicians who have embodied the band’s spirit of musical innovation throughout their eclectic careers. Guitarist Trey Anastasio is best known for his work as the principal songwriter and lead guitarist for touring juggernaut Phish, but he has also found time to score and arrange music for orchestras and Broadway productions such as “Best Musical” TONY nominee ‘Hands on a Hardbody.’ Pianist Bruce Hornsby had already won the first of his three Grammy Awards when he first guested with Grateful Dead in 1988. Following the death of the band’s keyboard player Brent Mydland in 1990, Hornsby toured with the group into 1992, and he has maintained a collaborative relationship with its members ever since. Bay Area native and jazz keyboardist Jeff Chimenti joined Bob Weir’s Rat Dog in 1997, and has since worked on projects such as Phil Lesh & Friends, The Other Ones, The Dead, and Furthur.</p>
<p><strong>In the tradition of the original Grateful Dead Ticketing Mail Order, tickets will first be made available via a first-come, first-served mail order system. <a href="http://dead50.net/" target="_blank">All additional ticketing information is available at Dead50.net</a>.</strong></p> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-custom-sidebar">

<h2>TALKIN' ABOUT "FARE THEE WELL: CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF GRATEFUL DEAD"</h2>
<div style="height:2150px;overflow:hidden;">
<p>“I have a feeling this will come out just right. Can’t wait to find out…HERE WE GO!” - <strong>Mickey Hart</strong></p>
<p>"The Grateful Dead lived an incredible musical story and now we get to write a whole new chapter. By celebrating our 50th, we get to cheer our past, but this isn't just about history. The Grateful Dead always played improvisational music that was born in the moment and we plan on doing the same this round." - <strong>Bill Kreutzmann</strong></p>
<p>“It is with respect and gratitude that we reconvene the Dead one last time to celebrate - not merely the band's legacy, but also the community that we’ve been playing to, and with, for fifty years,” - <strong>Phil Lesh</strong> "Wave that flag, wave it wide and high…"</p>
<p>"Lookin' forward to this one, oh boy, you bet. Let's see just how much fun we can have this 4th of July." - <strong>Bob Weir</strong></p>
<p>"Jerry Garcia was a great American master and the Grateful Dead are not just a genuine piece of musical history, but also an important part of American history. This is a band, born right at the beginning of electric rock, that took the American tradition and moved it forward. They really embodied the American concept of freedom, rolling around the country with a ginormous gang of people and the mindset that ‘you can come if you want, you can leave if you want. We don’t know what’s going to happen. All we know is we’re not looking back.’ What could be more American?” - <strong>Trey Anastasio</strong></p>
<p>"The great thing about these shows happening in Chicago, not only is it the amazing Americana of Chicago - the central location for all Dead Heads to come gather - but it's also the last place the Grateful Dead played together in 1995. Being able to get everyone back together - the fans and the band members - for this special weekend, is a really big deal." - <strong>Trixie Garcia</strong></p>
<p>"This is such an important moment for the band, their fans, and for everybody that loves live music. This is the band that caused so much to happen, that led to the creation of so many bands that have been influenced by what they achieved, both musically and culturally. The Grateful Dead truly are the great American Rock & Roll band so to have their final shows take place July 4th weekend in Chicago creates a lot of potential for magic to be made." - <strong>Producer Peter Shapiro</strong></p>

<p>“To honor the Grateful Dead’s wishes, I’d like to have a moment – a moment of silence – for somebody who brought a lot of love to the world, our dear departed brother, Jerry Garcia.”</p>
<p>At the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame I dedicated my performance to Jerry. It was hard to do, but I was so excited. It was a sad reason that I played, but Jerry was someone really special, and I was honored that the Grateful Dead wanted me to do this.</p>
<p>In September 1990, I came into the Dead just winging it off the streets for five nights at Madison Square Garden. There’s nothing like the Grateful Dead audience, and it was incredible for me to bite off a small piece of that.</p>
<p>I always felt a certain connection with Garcia. At RFK during the second night, the next to last song, <i>Wharf Rat</i>, there was a blue light on him. He was singing very soulfully, and I was getting chills up my body. I knew it was a special moment, and I drank it in.</p>

<p><strong>Ricky Skaggs &amp; Bruce Hornsby</strong></p>
</div>
<p>Bruce Hornsby, the music world’s equivalent of the Energizer Bunny, just keeps going and going. On top of last summer’s exceptional career-spanning 4-CD box set, Intersections (which, naturally, included a couple of previously unreleased nuggets from his tenure with the Dead—a live version of “The Valley Road” and, on the accompanying DVD disc, a great version of “Ramble On Rose”), he’s now got a bluegrass album under his belt, a collaboration called Ricky Skaggs &amp; Bruce Hornsby. </p>
<p>The two have known each other for a number of years and played together a few times, including a recording of the song “Darling Cory” for a Bill Monroe tribute album. Ricky Skaggs, a stringed music master of the highest order, told Mix magazine writer David Farinella, “Bruce had been doing that song in his show a little bit, so we did a bluegrass treatment and it was so much fun. It had this wonderful mixture of Bill Evans’ chord structure and bluegrass Bill Monroe. It had what we call ‘stank’ about it. It came together so quick, we looked at each other and I said, ‘Man, we gotta do more of this, maybe do a whole album. Would you be up for that?’”</p>
<p>A while later, Hornsby got together with Skaggs and his fine band, Kentucky Thunder—Andy Leftwich (fiddle), Paul Brewster (tenor vocals and rhythm guitar), Mark Fain (bass), Jim Mills (banjo), Cody Kilby (lead guitar) and Darrin Vincent (baritone vocals and rhythm guitar)—at Skaggs’ Hendersonville, Tenn. home studio to lay down tracks for the album. The CD contains a mix of new and old tunes, covers and originals. There are fresh takes on Bruce’s “Mandolin Rain” and “A Night on the Town,” and a most unexpected cover: Rick James’ “Super Freak,” cut bluegrass style. Most of the album was cut live in the studio, with everyone playing together, and then Bruce did some vocal and minor overdub work at his home studio in Williamsburg, Virginia.</p>
<p>When I reached Bruce at his home to ask him a few questions about the album, he noted, “It’s bluegrass-tinged, no doubt, but it’s also pushing it in certain ways. Like, I wrote a new tune called ‘Gulf of Mexico Fishing Boat Blues’ that is a bluegrass tune in 5/4. We also recorded two Roscoe Holcomb songs that Ricky sang. He was one of the great old-time traditional banjo players/singers. And that’s not your basic bouncy bluegrass. It’s very hard music in the sense there’s nothing pretty about it: ‘Across the Rocky Mountains’ is one chord throughout the whole song, but it’s a real highlight.”</p>
<p>I asked him about the challenge of fitting his big, distinctive piano style in with a bluegrass group: “Ricky and others have said through the years that the way I play piano reminds them of the banjo in bluegrass, so sometimes when I play, the piano takes on some of that role, I guess. It really wasn’t too difficult to fit in. You just have to be careful to not play too much left hand or be too busy. It’s real easy for a piano in any music to take over and obliterate everything else and sound terrible,” he laughs. “It’s the big mid-range force. In fact, we always used to joke that my band should have been called Bruce Hornsby &amp; the Mid-range, with all that piano and guitar—it was sonic hell for an engineer.”</p>

<p><strong>…and Busier Still</strong></p>
<p>In addition to upcoming dates with Ricky Skaggs, shows with his own band, the Noisemakers, and solo piano concerts, Bruce has launched a dream project of his that’s been in the works for some time: A jazz trio matching Hornsby with two of the greatest improvising musicians on the planet: Jack DeJohnette, the master drummer who’s been part of some of the most important groups of the past 40 years (including the Charles Lloyd quartet of the 1960s, Miles Davis’ groundbreaking electric bands of the early ’70s and, for much of the past two decades, the Keith Jarrett/Gary Peacock/Jack DeJohnette trio); and Christian McBride, whose recordings and live performances with Joshua Redman, Wallace Roney, Betty Carter, McCoy Tyner and many others, in addition to his own solo projects, have made him one of the most acclaimed bassists of his generation. The trio has recorded an album, Camp Meeting, to be released by Sony/Legacy on August 7th, but decided to take the music out for a little test spin a few months in advance of the CD rollout. The trio made its public debut at the B.B. King Blues Club in New York on May 23, in a pair of shows to benefit JazzReach, an organization dedicated to the vital work of bringing one of our greatest American art forms to a wider audience, with a special focus on jazz education for young people. If the maiden voyage was any indication, this is a combo that’s ready to make some history. The trio swung like mad at B.B. King’s on selections from the songbooks of John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk and other jazz immortals, as well as some very hip new arrangements of Hornsby originals. Later this summer, Bruce, Christian and Jack will be doing selected dates around the country, including the JVC Festival at Newport, RI and Jazz at the Hollywood Bowl. We’ll have more on this project as the album release draws closer.</p>
